I will never understand modern audiences' obsession with arguing Odysseus being morally upright according to modern standards.

(First off, this is Greek Mythology. Please stop trying to push modern morality onto it. These stories are thousands of years old and from a completely different culture than your own. The standards of what is right and wrong will be different. Arguing differently is delusional.)

But seriously, why Odysseus??? Odysseus is one of the single most complex characters in history and you want to sanitize him. The fact that he does so many questionable things is the entire point!

But also, there are easier characters if all you want is a fav that you can support. Orpheus just wanted his wife back. Orestes was born into a generational family curse and was damned no matter what he did. Perseus killed Medusa, but he mainly was just trying to save his mom and even saved a princess on the way. Hercules was essentially being tormented by his stepmom, went mad, and tried to redeem himself. Hell, I literally would have an easier time arguing in the favor of Achilles!

was super proud of myself for inventing a cool magical creature that was essentially a crocodile with wings and then i remembered dragons

i have a 2500 word essay due for school tomorrow so ik im about to have one of the best novel writing sessions of my life

dante meeting his literary heros in inferno is just so funny to me because what if i wrote a book where rf kuang took me to hang out with jrr tolkien, nk jemisin, john steinbeck, and douglas adams in limbo

"And then they showed me greater honor still, / for they made me one of their company, / so that I became the sixth amidst such wisdom" (tr. hollander, 4.100-102).

like "one of their company"??? "sixth amidst such wisdom"???? insane

#and the funny thing is #arguably his legacy IS comparable to theirs #bro really manifested so hard it became true #dante's inferno #the divine comedy #inferno #virgil #dante #homer #ovid #horatio #lucan
